Learn & Play Rocksmith!

Want to play the songs you love? Registration and the use of this website is 100% free.
The only thing you need is a legal copy of Rocksmith 2014 w/ a cable. Click here to buy it.

You can keep that zip file handy to avoid downloading it more than once. When I release a new hotfix, all you have to do is replace the files from the above zip file with the ones from the hotfix. The latest hotfix (2-20-2019) is here:http://ignition.cust...of/download/306

*If you use a non QWERTY US English keyboard layout, and keyboard controls/shortcuts aren't working for you, please make a post describing what keyboard shortcuts aren't working, and what the Info panel says the "CODE" and "ASCII" values are after you use each of the keyboard controls in question.

I can make Mac releases and will try to post one with each Windows release, but my ability to do so is sometimes limited. If I don't get around to releasing a Mac build you want, just remind me to do so. The latest Mac build (2-20-2019) is here:http://ignition.cust...of/download/305Unless you have oggenc and LAME installed (these don't come with the Mac build for licensing reasons), you won't be able to have EOF automatically convert from MP3 to OGG when you create a new chart. If you have trouble getting those set up on your system, here is a package that should get them installed and usable by EOF:http://www.t3-i.com/...f_utilities.pkg

Please provide any and all feedback, including bugs and feature requests. If possible, also please review the included documentation (manual, tutorials) and let me know if you find any room for improvement there. Eventually I plan to add a Rocksmith authoring section to the pro guitar tutorial, but the community's knowledge of the Rocksmith songs' makeup changes pretty quickly so it's hard to know when particular features are considered fully known. For any features that ARE fully known (like anchors), please feel free to remind me if they aren't incorporated into EOF yet, in case I missed any information being passed around on this forum or the Google group.

Note: If you are reporting a bug, please specify which hotfix (date) you're using. I release hotfixes on a somewhat random schedule, sometimes more than once per day, so the issue being reported may have been fixed in a release you haven't tried yet.

Hey all, I just wanted to let everyone know we're still making huge progress with our future projects. A few things we are working on: Ignition: This is our new front-end we've been working on. It will have all of these functions built in: Search, Requests, an area just for CDLC Creators (tutorials, upload and manage songs, and more). We've been working hard on Ignition and at this moment it's taking up most of our time. Another project we're working on that I would like to announce officially is a Song Manager program for our users. You will be able to finally manage all of your DLC. We'll have more information about this project in the coming months. I personally want to thank all of our staff for making all of this possible, and the community for the continued support.

As you are fully aware by now CustomsForge was completely down for over 24 hours due to a catastrophic backup failure. We worked with our host (Linode) to resolve this but unfortunately, it took 10 hours to just restore the files. We have a lot of upgrades for CustomsForge and we will be working on adding more fail safes to prevent problems like this happening in the future. As we grow into a bigger website we must evolve, and to do so we must upgrade our forums and ignition. During our upgrades, we ran into several problems, and unfortunately we learned about them days after. We were forced to roll back to a backup we took on March 5th. We still need to do these upgrades but we will be working closely with our board software support staff this time to fix the bug that caused these issues. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask us on our discord. We will be attempting these upgrades again, but in a different method which will reduce any future downtime if any problem was to occur again. (Example would be 30-minute downtime~ instead of 24 hours)

(p.s. if my wording sounds weird, I've been working on this non-stop for 24 hours trying to get this fixed for you guys, no sleep until I made sure our community is fixed! #exhausting)

I picked up rocksmith and started making customs a few months before with a very good friend of mine named Alex (aka Shinyditto12). We decided to team up and make Chevelle, Tool, and Alice in Chains customs together. It was a fun project where we racked up over 100 CDLCs together. You can view our original collaboration document here: http://goo.gl/jM4xte

I decided to make this website when our predecessor went down where I hosted my customs and there was no other custom website to turn to. I was messaged by Ally (not to be confused with my fiancee, Alyx) a friend of ours, at around 6 AM in the morning that the predecessor was no more. I’ve been wanting to run a long-term project for years. I quickly decided to make a new forum/search and invited users over.

I noticed in the Rocksmith Custom community that it could be done so much better, with so many features it was currently lacking. It started with a simple new install of phpbb, donations rolled in, I put in $500 to help jumpstart us. Donations kept rolling in and I used them for domain name, IP Board + Addons License and more. Our community kept growing and I know I created something awesome. @Asmo created the initial integration, then we acquired the skills of @hdnsmbt and merged his project with ours. That’s the beginning story of CustomsForge. Something we all should be proud of.

Magfest 2015

A milestone this year was our appearance in the form of a panel about custom songs in music video games. CustomsForge Developer @zerkz represented on the panel, talking about the community, and the process of making customs. You can watch the video here:

We also had a Rocksmith setup for a few days where people came to jam with us!

Thank you all once again and today we will like to announce our goals for 2015-2016.

Ignition Search + Comments

Our goal is to have ignition use a separate database and comment system. This will still be tied to your username but everything will be handled under ignition. Our ultimate goal is ignition to be the ultimate place for Rocksmith Customs. To learn how to do it with step-by-step guides, to our new request system, and our advanced search features.

With ignition you’ll be able to do the following:

Step by step guide on how to create customs. (Ran into a problem? The FAQ Tutorial system will guide you on what to do)

Links to Editor on Fire & Rocksmith Toolkit

Submit requests, view current requests and search requests

Search and filter CDLC in every way you can imagine, upload and edit CDLC you created, view and manage your collection of downloaded CDLC, get notifications on new or updated CDLC

New front-page with charts (top downloads per week, etc)

Comment on new CDLC and get better feedback & more!

CustomsForge Song Manager (CFSM)

I’m proud to announce we have made amazing progress with our new desktop app. We plan on releasing a beta test later, and a website to download the application from.

Find duplicate songs. (Have two copies of War Pigs by Black Sabbath?! Find and fix it!)

Launch Rocksmith via the Steam Shortcut built in

Backup your Rocksmith Profile

Export Song List via CSV or BBCode

Search through your CDLC

(Please note this is an alpha screenshot and will not have to reflect on the final product)

More features & a beta release announcement coming soon!

We have additional announcements coming throughout the year, make sure to stay tuned!

As always remember to support ubisoft by purchasing official products (Rocksmith 2014, Rocksmith 1 + import, official cord, and any official DLC releases). Thank you ubisoft for making such an awesome game that we all learn and love.

From now on if we find a download link that is broken and the user hasn't been online for 90+ days.

We'll update the download links and change the charter to CDLC Orphanage.

In the release notes we will make a note of who the original charter is, the date of when the CDLC was put into the orphanage and the member of staff who send the CDLC into the orphanage.

If the original charter returns he can get the CDLC out of the orphanage without any problems.

CDLC in the orphanage are also up for adoption. If a magna charter want's to adopt one of the songs. just send a message to the member of staff that is named in the release notes and the CDLC will be in your hands.

Our amazing team of Administrators and Moderators have been keeping an eye on this and have been resolving these issues as they occur. Unfortunately, I don't know why we are being targeted.
We will keep an eye on this and work on fixing it asap.

Accidental Suspension
The website was down a couple days ago due to our server company accidentally suspended our servers for 'late payment' even though it's not due until the end of the month. We reached out to them and corrected this. To make sure it doesn't happen again we're setting up a new donation goal to get it paid off asap.

We ran a test of the new google ads and saw it was extremely annoying on multiple areas of the website. We've reverted those and are solely using Sovrn for now. If you could whitelist us on your browser it would help a lot!

Developer Update

The current progress of the rewrite has slowed down but I plan on making sure we speed things up again even if that includes getting more front-end developers on board to help assist.

The US store is shirts only, and the international store also ships to the US but has other things like bags, stickers, etc.

Updates via Newsletter

I plan on creating a monthly update newsletter soon to provide updates on the website, featured CDLC, and more! I'll have more info on this soon as we work on it. The newsletter will still be posted in this section as well.

I am considering this issue 1 of the newsletter and we will add more to it in the future.

Thanks for reading this update and we're working hard on bringing more features to the website!

Before I begin with the announcements/news I want to congratulate all of our users for hitting over 100,000 posts.

Additionally we're near to hitting 9,500 songs which is a huge milestone. We're close to hitting 60,000 users.

Let's start this off with an update on Ignition.

If you're not aware already we've been working on Search 3 (aka Ignition) for awhile now. We've dedicated ourselves to this project and want to bring everyone the greatest search engine for songs.

As of today I want to announce that all Magna Charters will be able to beta test the new search soon.

After we receive enough feedback and fix any search-breaking bugs we can release it to everyone.

Changelog update for Search 2 to Search 3:

Please note some of these features may not be included in the beta and released in the future

Features not included but are currently being worked on:

Introducing our new front page, the Ignition dashboard. This is a work in progress concept that will feature the latest Rocksmith news.

Additionally on the left it will display search statistics (that you can set which ones you want) such as Newest CDLC, Recently Updated, Most Downloaded, Top Requests, Newly Fulfilled Requests & Latest Topics.

A forum link that goes to the forums is displayed on the main navigation

Requests:
We're in the process of making requests integrated into the same theme for Ignition. We will release more information in the future.

Creators:

Creators is another work-in-progress project where users can manage the CDLC they have created. A wiki will be provided where users can provide guides & documentation.

First off I wanted to explain what your donations was used for.The negatives are what I've purchased. The websites domain for $15 and the IP.Board & IP.Download system for $225

I have [color=rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;]$142.93 [/color][color=rgb(117,117,117);font-size:.63em;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-weight:bold;]USD [/color]Left in paypal and I plan to let all users know where their money went. I will not pocket any of this money as it will be used for this website only.

Okay now, for the future of the website I have a few things in motion.

1) We will most likely use http://rscdlc.com/ for our DLC system. We will modify it to make it better.2) We will use IP.Downloads for our file system. You can do EVERYTHING you dreamed it. Some of the features:

- It counts every download

- Searchable fields (Title, Artist, etc)

- NOTIFICATIONS for file updates. This is a huge update I'm looking forward to. No longer have to deal with outdated CDLC.

- Report broken file downloads to the CDLC creator

& More!

3) We are actively working with PHP developers to upgrade to our new CDLC system.

4) We are looking into hiring a Skin designer to design a professional dark-themed type skin. (Possibly a white one too).

Please note this will take some time but I'm hoping to get all of this in motion within the week. I'd like to have everything up and running soon so we can have an awesome community with awesome CDLC.

I also want to give thanks for my wife, Ally who has been here since the morning helping me out with everything.

I'm looking forward to working with everyone to create the ultimate CDLC website.

I wanted to let everyone know I recently lost my job at the company I've been working for over 3 years. Long story short I did receive a letter of recommendation from them so I will be looking for a new job.

In the meantime I an unable to support extra costs here as my income is very little next to nothing now. Therefore I must increase the goal (by $100) to cover what I donate towards the site monthly.

I don't want to start a flame war, but this does seem a bit precious to me.

It's not like the charters wrote the songs or played in the recordings, and often they've used tabs created by others.

Yes charters put a lot of work into making CDLCs, but I don't think there should be a problem with making available a CDLC made by someone who isn't on this website, unless you're also going to prevent CDLC that wasn't uploaded by the rights-holders of the actual song!

The 'original charter' should be given credit out of politeness, but the idea that a CDLC is "owned" by the creator seems at odds with the fact that the "creator" doesn't own most of the content of the CDLC, and it's all provided as a gift to the community for educational purposes.

The administrators of the website can obviously dictate whatever rules they wish, as its their website, but this does seem oddly inconsistent to me.

I'm pretty happy to announce that Customsforge has been asked to participate at MAGFest 2015, a music and gaming festival in Baltimore/National Harbor, MD. http://magfest.org/
I will be going to represent us in the form of participating in a panel, and hosting a Rocksmith stand/booth where I plan on showcasing all the best Customsforge hosted CDLC's that we have to offer!

More details to come, but for now, I ask the community to recommend the highest quality CDLCs you have played or created! I am very open to all genres, as long as they are high quality, and do not cause dead tones/crash. I also recommend that they have DD, but it is not a requirement. If you have a recommendation, please send me a private message (with a download link the PC psarc)!

If you live in the area, please come out and support us/have fun!

NOTE: This trip/event is being fully funded by myself, personally. All of your donations are still being used for site upkeep/server costs.

I'm also happy to officially announce we've been working on Search3 (codename: "Ignition")

We have tons of new features that everyone will be excited about. Our developers are working hard on bringing you all of the features you want.
Thank you everyone who's been supporting us, your donations help keep everything going.

I understand it's a bit expensive right now but once major development done we should be able to have everything under $200 a month (not including IP. Board license renewals)
We will have more updates in the future and thank you everyone for your support.

I wanted to update everyone to let you know that we're begun testing the next version of CustomsForge. This includes forum updates & ignition updates. Our first phase is internal testing between the developers only, then the rest of the staff. Once it reaches a point we might try an invite system. We will be sending out invites to popular users on here for their opinions and tweak the system to everyone's constructive criticism. I can't wait to share the future of CF with you all.

I'm writing to let everyone know the current status of Ignition. Since we've added @Anahkiasen to our team we've been rewriting Ignition from scratch.

@Anahkiasen and @hdnsmbt have been working together to rewrite and develop Ignition from the ground up using the latest technology that works for modern browsers and mobile phone browsers.

Some stats if you're curious on how hard these two are working on it:

2 authors have pushed 533 commits to ignition2. On ignition2, 630 files have changed and there have been 46,998additions and 21,363deletions.
And the mind blowing part about that is the timeframe:May 24, 2015 – June 24, 2015

I've been working behind the scenes for a better way to show development and milestones.

Soon once we iron out the details we will be releasing a public milestone list and what we're currently working on, including what services we use and what your donations are going towards.
It's super important we have all these tools for communication, organization, and better development.

Please note we are always looking for experienced PHP developers (5+ years) with knowledge of Laravel and JS.

I'm working on getting everyone updated soon. Thank you for your continued support.
